Velas has been struggling with injuries so far this season but is now ready to try and break into Arsene Wenger’s first team plans.
“It’s been a difficult start. I couldn’t train with the team in pre-season and since then I’ve had lots of injuries and missed lots of games,” he told the Gunners’ official website.
“It’s been difficult but hopefully all the injuries are behind me and then I’ll be able to work hard and enjoy myself and get back in the team and win something.
“I really want to improve on last season. I want to score more goals than last season and play more and the main aim for the team is to win something.”
